The Central Mystery of Christianity is the Resurrection
2019-12-16
I have long thought that the atonement theories missed the point of the Resurrection entirely because they're so focused on the Crucifixion. The execution of Jesus was a necessary prerequisite for his Resurrection, which is (or should be), the central Mystery of Christianity. It certainly is for Catholicism.
For me, the lesson of the Resurrection is this: evil will not and cannot win, and God wants us to know that.
